FLOREZ IS CHARGED WITH
COLLISION INVOLVING DEATH.
>>> TEXAS IS NOW USING PLANES
IN ADDITION TO BUSES TO MOVE
MIGRANTS OUT OF THE STATE.
IT IS GOVERNOR GREG ABBOTT’S LATEST MOVE IN THE BATTLE OVER
SECURITY AT THE SOUTHERN
BORDER.
THE FIRST FLIGHT HAS ALREADY
LANDED IN CHICAGO. WE HAVE THE REACTION AND WHY
THE WINDY CITY WAS TEXAS FIRST
TARGET.
WIN MORE THAN 120 MIGRANTS
STEPPED ONTO A PLANE IN EL PASO HEADED FOR CHICAGO.
IN APRIL OF LESTER, GOVERNOR
ABBOTT STARTED SENDING BUSES
WITH MIGRANT PASSENGERS FROM
TEXAS TO OTHER DEMOCRATIC LED
CITIES LIKE PHILADELPHIA, NEW
YORK CITY AND DENVER.
TUESDAY’S FLIGHT TO CHICAGO WAS THE FIRST TIME ABBOTT
TRANSPORTED MIGRANTS BY AIR.
THE MOVE COMES AFTER CHICAGO
OFFICIALS BEGAN CRACKING DOWN
ON MIGRANT BUSES FOR ALLEGEDLY VIOLATING ORDINANCES.
ON THE PLANE’S DEPARTURE,
GOVERNOR ABBOTT RELEASED A
STATEMENT THAT READS IN PART, SANCTUARY CITY CHICAGO STARTED
OBSTRUCTING AND TARGETING OUR
BUSING MISSION. TEXAS WILL NOW EXPAND OUR
OPERATIONS TO INCLUDE FLIGHTS
TO CHICAGO.
THIS IS ACE BOARD SPOKESPERSON
FOR A TEXAS-BASED NONPROFIT
THAT PROVIDES LEGAL AND SOCIAL
SERVICES FOR MIGRANTS.
HE SAYS THIS IS NOTHING MORE
THAN POLITICAL THEATER. >> THE BUSES, THE PLANES, THE
BARBED WIRES.
THEY DON’T DO ANYTHING TO SLOW
DOWN MIGRATION AT THE END OF THE DAY.
BUT THESE POLITICAL STUNTS WHAT
THEY ARE DOING IS CAUSING A
DEVASTATING BLOW. >> SINCE LANDING AT O’HARE,
CHICAGO CITY OFFICIALS BEGAN
WORKING TO FIND SPACE IN ITS
SHELTER SYSTEM.
>> WHAT IS APPEARS IS THAT THERE’S A LACK OF COORDINATION
IN ORDER TO PURPOSELY CATCH
CERTAIN POLITICIANS FLAT-FOOTED
AND MAKE A STATEMENT OUT OF
THAT.
>> IN NOVEMBER CHICAGO
IMPLEMENTED A BUS SAFETY
ORDINANCE TO ENSURE ORDERLY
INTAKE OF NEW ARRIVALS.
SINCE THE START OF THIS
OPERATION, ABBOTT HAS BUSSED
